Famous quotes containing the words seized and/or power:
“Man lives two lives, woe, were it otherwise! One is seized by death, the other one, his honor, remains.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Compared to other parents, remarried parents seem more desirous of their child’s approval, more alert to the child’s emotional state, and more sensitive in their parent-child relations. Perhaps this is the result of heightened empathy for the child’s suffering, perhaps it is a guilt reaction; in either case, it gives the child a potent weapon—the power to disrupt the new household and come between parent and the new spouse.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
